My career path... It's been all over the place I guess, and not too interesting until now. I never went to a school for art. This poverty baby couldn't do that. I've mostly lived off of basic commissions before now, and had lots of art friends to keep me going and believing.

I had a call center job when people believed in me the least, and I've moved from place to place, been broke longer than I should've been, and even been homeless. But I never stopped drawing and only got better at it with time. Lots of time.

I haven't really had any goals or expectations other than "make something impressive" and "get a project of my own made some day." But people who really liked what I did saw me doing nothing significant I guess and basically scooped me up. I mean, I was pretty available for it.

Some of the projects I've been on, I didn't even think I could do. I took a shot at them after being asked, just to see if I could, and I ended up being chosen. I've had a lot of support, but also a lot of discouragement about my career choice.

So I wasn't very confident at all and didn't think I was all that great. But instead of sulking, I'd push myself with whatever I made to try and prove myself wrong. And I still do this, even with my confidence growing.
